October Is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

October 17, 2017
0

The U.S. Department of Labor is celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month throughout October. This year’s theme is “Inclusion Drives Innovation.”

“This October, we celebrate the contributions and achievements of Americans with disabilities as part of the American workforce,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. “As the Trump Administration drives job creation, we are reminded that the role of Americans with disabilities is not defined by what they cannot do, but rather by what they can do. Each day, millions of Americans with disabilities go to work and know firsthand the independence, pride, and sense of community that comes with a job. Their daily contributions are proof that inclusion helps drive American innovation.”

In 1945, Congress declared the first week of October as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. In 1962, the word “physically” was dropped to acknowledge individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to NDEAM.

For more information about NDEAM and how you can participate, visit www.dol.gov/odep/topics/ndeam/index-2017.htm.
